About the Company

We are a Western Australian based agrifood technology company with a national footprint and growing international reach. We work at the intersection of spatial data, IoT sensing, and digital agriculture software – building platforms and tools that help farms, research organisations, and agribusinesses manage land, resources, and operations more effectively.

Sustainability and resource efficiency sit at the core of what we do. Our work also spans emissions benchmarking, waste-derived fertiliser research, and circular economy approaches to agricultural inputs — and we are increasingly engaged with the frameworks and reporting structures that are reshaping how agriculture accounts for its environmental footprint. Our project delivery team works alongside internal software, data science, and hardware teams to deliver outcomes across corporate agriculture, funded research, and plantation and horticulture sectors.

About the Role

We are looking for a Cropping Technologies Project Manager to take on and grow an active, varied portfolio across three distinct areas:

- Corporate Agriculture – managing an international platform product across multiple regions, with corporate farm clients, cropping technology partnerships, and an internal software development team

- Field Trials and Fertiliser Research – managing funded research projects, field trials, and a network of research and industry partners, with hands-on trial establishment and formal grant reporting obligations

- Plantations and Horticulture – a growing base of active POCs, projects and pipeline opportunities in tree crops, orchards, and vines.

This is a hands-on delivery role with an inbedded commercial dimension. Project management means owning the full lifecycle: scope, delivery, milestones, invoicing, and budget reconciliation. Alongside delivery, the role is expected to actively identify and develop new project work – writing grant submissions, building budgets with partners, and developing client interest into proposals and engagements.

- Supporting marketing efforts, including sharing project updates, client outcomes and provide input for case studies and other content.
